The Australian former US marine pilot faces a potential prison sentence of up to 60 years on charges of arms trafficking and money laundering
Australian man Daniel Duggan, 55, has lost his bid to avoid extradition to the US on charges of arms trafficking and money laundering, arising from allegedly training Chinese fighter pilots more than a decade ago.Australian man Daniel Duggan, 55, has lost his bid to avoid extradition to the US on charges of arms trafficking and money laundering, arising from allegedly training Chinese fighter pilots more than a decade ago.
The US is seeking the extradition of Duggan, 55, on charges of arms trafficking and money laundering, arising from his alleged training of Chinese fighter pilots more than a decade ago. The allegations have not been tested in a court. The father of six children aged between six and 18, who are Australian citizens, faces a potential 60-year prison term if convicted in the US., having been classified as a high-risk prisoner. He has consistently denied the allegations against him as politically motivated, and claimed the indictment against him is filled with “half-truths, falsehoods and gross embellishments”.
The magistrate was implacable, and did not start the hearing until dozens of supporters of Duggan had been ushered out. One supporter remained in the court by hiding behind a pillar, unseen by the magistrate.
